Project Overview

Villanova University is moving forward with plans to enhance its campus along Route 30/Lancaster Avenue and turn the main parking lots into an attractive living and learning environment that will feature Collegiate Gothic style residential housing, University-operated student-centric retail, a Performing Arts Center, a parking garage and a pedestrian bridge. For the retail space, the plans call for a Villanova apparel shop, convenience store and a Bistro. The Performing Arts Center would feature academic and performance space to support the University's theatre, studio arts and music activities programs.

The four year project will:

Address growing desire among undergraduate students for additional opportunities to live on campus

Position Villanova University more competitively among its peer institutions and increase student and parent satisfaction
